Stephanie Murphy
Stephanie moved to New Hampshire in 2006 as one of the Free State Project’s First 1000 participants. She is a liberty activist and medical student, especially interested in promoting the ideas of freedom through outreach and media.
Seth King
Seth King was born and raised by libertarians. His activism stretches back to grade school. He currently enjoys selling Ron Paul and other liberty books door-to-door on weekends. He considers himself a free-market anarchist and looks forward to moving to New Hampshire to engage in civil disobedience and entrepreneurship that replaces state functions.
Alex Wied
Alex Wied moved to Durham, New Hampshire in late August of 2009 and is currently studying biochemistry at the University of New Hampshire. Alex moved because he feels that New Hampshire is the last stand for liberty in his lifetime.
Mike Tiner
I'm originally from the Detroit area and recently turned 36 years old. After hearing about the Free State Project in 2008 I was so excited that I made the move to New Hampshire four days later. Fate brought me back to Detroit for a year but I returned to Manchester, NH last August and jumped right in with the activism.
Sam Biondolillo
My name is Sam and I moved to New Hampshire in September of 2009 along with my wife and daughter. I am focused on working towards self-sufficiency and helping others increase their survivability during rough economic times. The Free State Project has been a great outlet and has introduced me to a lot of people who are very serious about removing their dependencies on "the system". If you are interested in sustainability, prepping, homesteading, or just learning new life skills and becoming more independent, New Hampshire is a great place to be!
Seth Cohn
Seth Cohn moved with his wife in late 2004 to New Hampshire, and he's been an active participant ever since. He's one of the people responsible for the FSP's website, among other pro-liberty tasks, and still manages to find time to get paid for a living by doing other people's websites too.
Andrew
Andrew moved to New Hampshire in 2007 to attend college. During his sophomore year, he met several members of the Free State Project. Shortly after, he became involved in local activism. He's made more friends than he can keep track of and really appreciates the sense of community.
Kate Muller
Kate Muller moved to New Hampshire in the summer of 2007 as part of the Free State Project, and she has loved every minute of it. She is an avid activist who specializes in teaching women to shoot. She also teaches fine art and crafts to gifted children at a private school that she helped open.
Amanda Biondolillo
My name is Amanda, I'm 25, and I moved to New Hampshire in 2009 for the Free State Project. I was mover #763 I believe. Within 3 months of finding out about the FSP, I moved here with my wonderful husband Sam and our awesome 3-year-old daughter Sophia. Along the lines of activism, I help with little things here and there like organizing meet-ups and advertising the Liberty Book Club and other events. Sometimes I help the NH Liberty Alliance by passing out the Gold Standard, which is given to all the state legislators to show them which bills are pro-liberty and which are not.
Jason Talley
In April 2010, I became the 806th person to move to New Hampshire to achieve “liberty in our lifetime” as part of the Free State Project. Currently I live free in Grafton, NH as part of a community dubbed "Agorist Acres" for it's emphasis on voluntary exchange.
